    Fried Brussel's Sprouts
    Shanita F.

    Bbq spots are only as good as their meats. Specifically their pork (or beef if you weren't raised right). Disclaimer: I don't eat red meat, so my opinion of this place lives and dies on the quality of their wings. And they were, MEH. First of all, the wings were huge. Like suspiciously large. Immediately I thought: "Okay, these are definitely pumped full of hormones." But I paid $12 for SIX wings, so I was eating them regardless. I was told they were smoked and then flash-fried. I also ate them without any sauce because GOOD smoked wings don't need a be sauced! Unfortunately, the wings were just okay. Not bad, but not great either. I didn't even want to finish them. On to the sides. I ordered the potato salad and Brussels sprouts. The potato salad had absolutely no taste. It tasted like boiled potatoes, mayo and green onions. No mustard. Is that what makes it a Creole potato salad? You don't want it. But I'm really annoyed about the fried Brussels sprouts. I was given what looked like six or seven halves. So...maybe 3.5 full sprouts? That's it. For $5. I'm upset as about that tiny portion. I definitely overpaid and definitely am underwhelmed.

    Stuffed BBQ Baked Potato with Brisket
    Ashley C.

    I came here for a quick lunch break. When I walked in I was greeted with a smile & a friendly hello ready to take my order. I ordered the brisket potato & it was excellent! The owner was also behind the counter cutting the fresh meat himself in front of you & also was very friendly asking if I was enjoying my food & chatted with the me. It is definitely a "hole in the wall" gem. It is so hard to find good BBQ & this was the best I have had in a while! I will define back to try more!

    I enjoyed a Rueben with baked beans and mac n cheese. The Reuben is packed with meat. It was pretty good. The baked beans and Mac were ok. I enjoyed them more when I scooped a little of each on one spoon. The staff is very friendly and offer great service.

    Burnt Ends

    This was a best BBQ I've had! It's a tiny shop with a lot of flavor and character! As soon as we stepped in, we were greeted by very kind staff and by Hank Williams Jr singing over the radio. I also had to use the restroom and it was super clean. My husband and I got smoked burnt ends, smoked spare ribs, a Texas Twinkie, cracklin, and pepper jack Mac. We also got a complimentary sample of pulled pork. The food popped out so fast!! Unfortunately we had started eating before I took the pictures but it was so delicious! We highly recommend the burnt ends, ribs, and definitely the Texas Twinkie. Next time we're in NOLA, we're coming back!!

    Soul Bowl
    Ashley L.

    Absolutely loved the "Soul Bowl" that I ordered. Cheesy, salted, and topped with tangy bbq. I also loved the burnt ends we got to share with the table. We would love to come back when in New Orleans

    I visited Cochon King BBQ after trying their burnt ends at the Blues and BBQ Festival. The food was amazing. I ordered a family platter and shared it with my friends. My only complaint is that I wish there were more ribs on the platter. The dirty rice was some of the best I've had. The mac and cheese obviously isn't home cooked, but it's good for a restaurant. The staff was very friendly, and they even checked to make sure we were satisfied with everything.

    Smoked chicken wings

    The place is great. The smoke smell lets you know it's a bbq joint. Staff was so kind and accommodating. Our food came out hot, presented with care and most important - delicious. Smoked wings, pulled pork, brisket, ribs, cracklins, potato salad and Mac n cheese. Definitely a new fav!

    Pulled pork Soul Bowl

    We went here on a whim because a seafood food truck nearby was closed and it was the best decision!!! Probably some of the best BBQ I've ever had and amazing sauce. We ended up buying extra BBQ sauce to bring home. Highly recommend this place and I hope to go back to LA so I can eat here again!!

    Wings ($10 for 6 pieces)
    Mina H.

    Hear me out, I've read that this place can be a hit or miss depending on the day and I think I must have come on a "miss" day, unfortunately. They're a new business, so it's possible they haven't quite nailed down consistency yet. I think you should keep my review in mind, but this place may be worth a try! Cochon King is a cute little dive-y shop with tables for eating there, and you can definitely smell something good before you even walk in the door. First of all, let me tell you that the prices here are fantastic! They offer cheap meals that fill you up; they don't skimp at all here and they have very generous portions. We tried their 3-meat combo platter ($26) with a side of their "pepper jack mac" and smoked beans. We got the brisket, smoked ribs, and turkey for the 3 meats. The sides were delicious, and the turkey was AMAZING! Juicy, flavorful, tender, soft, and smoky. Everything you can ask for in BBQed turkey. However, the brisket and ribs were not as awesome. The brisket and ribs were both really tough, dry, and none of the fat was rendered. The seasoning, flavor, and the smokiness were good, but it wasn't tender or juicy. A good smokehouse barbeque should be able to cook the meat to where it's falling off the bones and the fat gets rendered, but this wasn't it. I really had to cut into the meat to get them to bite-sized pieces. We ended up finishing the brisket, which was okay, but the ribs were not really edible as it were. We took the ribs home and threw it in a pot of beans we were cooking, and only then did the ribs become soft enough to eat. We also tried the special of the day, which was the $10 chicken BBQ plate. It comes with some pickled onions and cukes and a side of potato salad, which were all good. However, the chicken was disappointing. The flavor was there along with the perfect amount of char, but maybe the heat was too high or it was left on the heat for a bit too long? This meat was dry and tough too. We had a few bites and took the rest of it home, but we didn't even end up finishing it another day. This is rare for us, we're good about finishing leftovers! If the chicken had been on-point, this would have been a deal you couldn't beat! We tried the smoked wings ($10 for 6 pieces) and this was a disappointment as well. Same issue with the meat being too dry and tough. We got some ranch dressing that helped add a bit of moisture to each bite, but it just wasn't very good. All in all, I was really hoping to love this place, but I didn't this time. Maybe I could give this place a shot again, and it'll be on a day when it's a "hit"!

I'm glad I gave it another shot because this place was worth the return trip. The vibe immediately transports you to the Caribbean with colorful decor, island music, and a fun atmosphere. My foodie friend and I started with a couple of cocktails: the Caribbean Rum Punch and the Passion Fruit Piña Colada. Both were strong, refreshing, and definitely not shy on the rum. For appetizers, we ordered the Dominican Ribs, glazed with sweet chili, ginger, and soy. These disappeared fast and easily became one of my favorite bites of the night. I would come back just for the ribs alone! For entrées, we shared: Zydeco Redfish - Cajun grilled redfish topped with fried shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes, Creole reduction, and veggies. The red fish was cooked perfectly and was the standout dish for me. Island Ribeye - A 13oz ribeye marinated in pineapple ginger soy, served with whipped sweet potatoes and pistachios. Great flavor with a nice island twist. And of course, we had to get a side of fried plantains because you can never go wrong with plantains. Great food, strong drinks, and a fun atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to check out their happy hour soon. Tonylameats Approved
